Tips to Avoid Becoming a Victim of Violence
These are crazy times that we live in, early releases have shown a marked increase in violent crime. Don’t put yourself in a situation that may result in you becoming a victim.
Here are some tips:
1) Don’t look like a victim. Walk tall with your head up. Project an air of confidence as you walk and speak to persons.
2) Trust your instincts. If something, or someone, makes you uncomfortable, avoid the person or leave the area. Listening to “your gut instinct” can help you avoid becoming a victim of a violent crime.
3) Avoid parking in isolated areas. Be especially alert in lots and underground parking garages. Always park in a well lighted, heavily traveled area.

5) Don’t put yourself in a situation or location that is known to be less than safe.
